Hi Kiruba,
I’m a big YG Mahendran fan from my days growing up in Chennai. Some of the facts he stated about better film actors coming from the stage is very true.
It was heartening to see that somebody has, over decades of being in the industry, has kept his integrity intact and perseveres to do the ‘best one can in the role,’ offered to them.
Thanks for the interview. It is a poignant example for other artists to hold on to their beliefs in the face of lower returns for their talent.
